KEDGE Business School

A higher education institution recognized as being in the public interest (EESPIG), with the status of an association under the French law of 1901, KEDGE trains 15,000 students every year on its 4 campuses in France (Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille and Toulon), 2 in China (Shanghai and Suzhou), 2 in Africa (Senegal and Ivory Coast) and on its associated campuses (Avignon, Bastia, Bayonne, Mont-de-Marsan).

As a forward-looking management school, KEDGE BS is committed to training the agents of change who will help build the sustainable and inclusive business models of tomorrow.
A forerunner in social and environmental responsibility, the school signed up to the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact in 2005.
In 2007, a CSR Department is created to support the integration of social and environmental issues within the school and its faculty. In 2010, the KEDGE Foundation is created to support management training and research aimed at empowering young people and organizations to build the worlds of tomorrow.
In 2013, KEDGE initiated the Sustainability Literacy Test (Sulitest), a tool to assess higher education students' knowledge of the fundamentals of sustainable development - a tool that would later become a benchmark within higher education (used by 500 universities in 60 countries).
In 2019, KEDGE is one of the first higher education establishments to be awarded (for a 4-year period) the Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility (SD&RS) label - a benchmark industry label for the integration of social and environmental issues into an establishment's general policy, a scheme supported by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR), France Universités, the Conférence des Grandes Écoles (CGE) and the French Association of Business Schools.
